How To Make A Valid Thread

NOTE: This will be a quick example that will show you how a thread should look like.
In this thread I will be a user which is having trouble getting his wireless card working so I decide to make a thread asking for help.

Step 1: SearchingNOTE: Before creating a new thread, make sure you read our Documentation, check existing post and do a bit of searching on the internet. In most cases the time you wait for your thread to be moderated + the time for someone to respond to it is a lot greater than the time it will take you to find a solution by searching.

Now whether you realize it or not most of your issues can be found by doing some simple searching, so in our case we will check:

This means you will have to correctly choose a thread title in order to give the readers a clue about what that thread might contain. So do not choose titles similar to: "Help!!!", "Wireless not working =(", "Need Assistance plz!", etc.

Hello, I have a HDD install of 32 bit Kali 1.0 with GNOME as a WM. Recently I bought a SMCWUSB-G 802.11bg which uses the zd1211rw chipset and I am having some trouble getting it to run properly on Kali Linux (This adapter however was tested on Ubuntu 10.04 and was confirmed as working).

root@kali:~# ifconfig wlan0 up
ioctl(SIOCSIFFLAGS) failed: No such file or directory

airmon-ng / airodump-ng

Code:

root@kali:/home# airmon-ng start wlan0
Found 2 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!
PID Name

Process with PID 1527 (dhclient3) is running on interface wlan0
